4. Configuració

4.1 Desembalatge i inspecció inicial

Traieu el amplifier and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage that may have occurred during transit. If any damage is found, contact your retailer immediately. Note that a slight chemical smell may be present upon initial unboxing; this is normal for new electronic products and will dissipate over time.

4.2 Instal·lació del tub

If the vacuum tubes are not pre-installed, carefully insert them into their respective sockets. It is recommended to wear clean gloves (e.g., cotton gloves) when handling tubes to avoid leaving fingerprints, which can affect tube lifespan. Each tube has a keyway on its base that aligns with a notch in the socket. Gently push the tube straight down until it is firmly seated. Do not force the tubes.

4.3 Connexions

Before connecting any cables, ensure the ampl'amplificador està apagat i desendollat ​​de la presa de corrent.

• Entrada (IN): Connect your audio source (e.g., CD player, DAC, pre-amplifier) to the "IN" RCA jacks on the rear panel. Ensure left (L) and right (R) channels are correctly matched.
• Sortida (OUT): Connect your passive speakers to the "OUT" speaker terminals. The amplifier supports 8Ω impedance speakers. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of your speaker, and the negative (-) terminal of the amplifier to the negative (-) terminal of your speaker. Ensure secure connections to prevent short circuits.
• Potència: Once all audio connections are made, connect the power cord to the amplifier's AC inlet and then to a suitable wall outlet.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Engegada/apagada

Per encendre el amplifier, flip the "POWER" toggle switch on the front panel to the "ON" position. The vacuum tubes will begin to glow, and the VU meters may illuminate. Allow the amplifier to warm up for at least 15-30 minutes for optimal sound performance. This "burn-in" period is crucial for tube amplifiers. To power off, flip the "POWER" switch to the "OFF" position.

5.2 Control de volum

Adjust the master volume using the large "VOLUME" knob on the front panel. Turn clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The knob has stepped intervals for precise adjustment.

5.3 VU Meters

The two VU (Volume Unit) meters on the front panel provide a visual representation of the audio signal level for the left and right channels. They indicate the average loudness of the audio passing through the amplifier. While primarily aesthetic, they can help monitor signal presence and relative output levels.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja

Per netejar el amplifier, first ensure it is powered off and unplugged. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

6.2 Tube Care and Replacement

Vacuum tubes have a finite lifespan and may require replacement over time. Signs of aging tubes include reduced sound quality, increased noise, or uneven performance. When replacing tubes, ensure the amplifier is completely cool and unplugged. Carefully grasp the tube at its base and gently rock it while pulling upwards to remove it. Insert new tubes following the installation instructions in Section 4.2. Always replace tubes with compatible types to maintain optimal performance.
